Brampton Seniors Support Ruby Dhalla

We are writing in support of Dr. Ruby Dhalla, Member of Parliament for Brampton-Springdale, who has been unjustly smeared by the Toronto Star’s article released on May 5th 2009 — and by the Canadian media. The Brampton Filipino Seniors Club have known Ruby since she was first elected in 2004 and can attest to her character as being nothing short of the highest integrity. She is one of the hardest working and most dedicated people we have ever known.

We have seen firsthand Ruby’s commitment to people, to Brampton and the Filipino community. When ever any one has needed her she has always been there.

In fact, early this year Ruby lent her support to a Filipina live in caregiver who was diagnosed with colon cancer. Ruby went shoulder to shoulder with the Filipino community to fight for the live in caregiver to receive her permanent residency.

As well, earlier this year, when a Filipina resident of Brampton (a former Caregiver) was terminally ill Ruby went above and beyond to comfort this women. She offered help and support to the members of the Filipino community and the members of the Filipino-Canadian Autoworkers Association as they provided care and comfort to this dying woman. When she succumbed to death, Ruby again stood shoulder to shoulder with the community to collect funds for her funeral. Ruby spoke at the funeral with a speech that touched the hearts of everyone in the room.

On several occasions we have had the pleasure of working with her and her office on a number of initiatives to empower women, seniors and the Filipino community. She tabled a petition in the House of Commons to call on the government to stop the political killings and human rights violations in the Philippines and also worked with the Filipino community to support the campaign to demand justice for Comfort Women.

Everyone in the Filipino community in Brampton knows Ruby is always a phone call away when help is needed. She is a champion of women, of immigrants, of seniors and of children. She is seen as role model by our youth and as a compassionate and loving person by our community. Whether it’s empowering women, giving youth a voice or advocating for seniors, Ruby has always stood up for the community.

Given Ruby’s floving and caring nature and her dedication to people and the community the allegations by the caregivers and treatment in the media is unfair. We don’t know what motive the care givers have in making these allegations but anyone that knows Ruby finds it difficult to believe. She is caring and compassionate. The Brampton Filipino Seniors and the entire community stand behind Ruby as she goes through this difficult time.

The Brampton Filipino Seniors Club
Aurora G. Villanueva, President

I have dealt with Ruby Dhalla in her office. She gives off an air of arrogance. She acts as if being a Member of Parliament makes her better then everyone else. She should forget that she works for us and not the other way around. This MP is worth more then the Liberals bargained for. Dump her and run a diffirent candidate. I am NEVER voting Liberal again until she is gone.
